Tap to give
Tap to give, with a Quick Tap.
A Quick Tap puts giving where your people already are: by the door, on the welcome table, or passed hand to hand in a basket. Donors choose an amount on the screen, tap a card or phone, and see their thank-you. The tax receipt takes care of itself.
How donors give
Choose. Tap. Thank you.
The screen shows up to three amounts you choose, plus Other for any amount. The donor taps a card, a phone or a watch with Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the screen says the gift went through, in plain words.
A first-time donor is asked for their email right on the screen. We email them a link to add their name and mailing address, which an official receipt needs, and the receipt follows in your charity’s name. After that, every tap with that card is receipted automatically, and the donor is thanked by name.
Where it goes
Four ways to put it out.
- Door kiosk. Floor-standing, with your message on the board, at the entrance or the exit.
- Foyer display. A stand with a printed board, for a foyer, a hallway or the welcome desk.
- Tabletop. For a welcome table, a gift shop, or a partner’s counter across town.
- Quick Tap Basket. Passed hand to hand, with a Quick Tap in its rim. In pass-around mode there’s no email step, just a quick thank-you and the next person.
Built for the room
Anywhere with a cell signal.
- Every Quick Tap is cellular, so there is no Wi-Fi to set up. It can use Wi-Fi too.
- A built-in battery, so it works without a cord.
- Donor screens in 8 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, Chinese, Arabic and Tigrinya.
- Donors can choose which fund their gift goes to, if you turn that on. Each Quick Tap can have its own default fund.
- Sell candles or gift-shop items on the same Quick Tap. Sales are kept separate from tax receipts.
After the tap
The money and the paperwork.
Every gift goes into your charity’s own account, in your charity’s name, and Mindful Give never holds it. Each month we send the balance to your bank account, after the month’s fees.
Every tap shows up on your dashboard as it happens, next to your online gifts, and the monthly statement lists each one.
Questions
What charities ask
What does a tap donation machine cost?
A Quick Tap is $75 a month on the Everything Plan, with the app, the dashboard and tax receipts included, and repair or replacement for defects and wear. After 24 months it’s yours and the plan drops to $20 a month. Or buy one for $449 and pay $20 a month. Each tap is 5% ($0.20 minimum), and that covers the card processing, the receipt and the payout. There is no setup fee. See pricing
Does it need Wi-Fi?
No. Every Quick Tap is cellular, so it works anywhere with a cell signal. It can use Wi-Fi as well.
Do donors get a tax receipt?
Yes. A new donor gives their email on the screen, then adds their name and mailing address from a link we email them, and the receipt follows in your charity’s name. After that, every tap with that card is receipted automatically. How receipts work
Can donors choose the amount?
Yes. The screen shows up to three amounts you set, plus Other, where the donor enters any amount.
Can churches and parishes use it?
Yes. Parishes use Quick Taps in the foyer and in pass-around baskets. They work the same way for a museum, a gala, a school or a humane society: any registered charity’s gifts are receipted in its own name.
Can we use it at an event?
Yes. Put a kiosk at the door and a Quick Tap on each table. Every gift shows on your dashboard as it happens, and donors who give their email get their tax receipt.
